Encourage Chikorita! (Confidence +1)

"Come on Chikorita, you can do it!" I screamed, providing ample morale support to the green lady. I knew she could do it, and with my encouragement, she seemed to be fighting even harder then before. The hoothoot continued its **** with pecks and attempted scratches with its talons, though most missed thankfully. Chikorita finally ended the battle with a single slam, knocking the owl Pokémon directly into the dirt.

Returning his Pokémon, the bro tossed his hat onto the ground and let out an epithet filled with curses. I collected the money he provided before he finally cleared away, reveling in the strength of my Chikorita.

Moving forward, the northern road of Route 30 eventually blended into Route 31. A much smaller route, it lied on the direct outskirts to Violet City.
